We're excited to announce a $4M Seed round led by @GameChangersVC, with support from incredible investors including @scooterbraun, @GuyOseary, @stellation, @SignalFire, @MaCVentureCap, and others.
A few years ago, while hosting community events and testing early products, my co-founders @WeilynChong, @NathanAhn, and I noticed a consistent pattern.
After every event, people asked the same questions:
Where are the photos? Who captured that moment? How do I reconnect with the people I met?

visited the @miraglasses hacker house / office today and tried the glasses. this is nuts.
context: i spent 3 dense years on optical design for AR displays and eye-tracking algorithms in a research lab. and, the second brain concept is something that i have been thinking deeply about for a long time. few things excite me more than the combination of those two.
@AnhPhuNguyen1 made the right call here.
most AR glasses chase visual fidelity. high-quality displays mean big form factor, big batteries, devices people don't actually wear. mira inverted the priority: simple monochrome waveguide for text, all the depth in the AI layer.
result: 39 grams. you actually wear them all day.
what stood out:
- the AI is the product. it listens, transcribes, memorizes concepts, sends emails. real-time fact-check on a live conversation is wild!
- multi-language works. tested in english and turkish. no problem at all.
- prescription option built in. I am sure you will like it @Scobleizer i remember how frustrated you were with Ray-Ban Meta demo at their showroom.
- the office is shipping. i saw boxes going out. the energy is the kind you want to bet on.
i am sure next versions will compound fast.
I donโt speak a lick of French, but I fully understood two French folks roasting the hell out of me for spilling my mimosa at bottomless brunch last weekend bc I had my MIRA glasses on๐.
Copped a lot of new โsecond-brainโ tech in the past 6 months. MIRA takes the cake. My prescription glasses came last week and Iโve been wearing em nearly every day. Good shit @CaineArdayfio and @AnhPhuNguyen1, excited for future updates.
Canโt wait for the ring to arrive.
